Abstract

Se provee un sistema de guía de programacion televisiva interactiva en el cual un usuario puede utilizar la guía de programacion para mirar unprograma mientras simultáneamente graba otro programa, sin interrumpir el proceso de grabacion o de visualizacion. Este sistema de guía de programaciontelevisiva interactiva permite también a un usuario utilizar todas o algunas de las características de la guía de programacion, mientras está en elmodo de mirar y grabar, dependiendo de la realizacion que seestá implementando. Además, este sistema de mirar y grabar puede ser implementado utilizandouna caja que va colocada sobre el televisor con multiples sintonizadores, o una caja que va colocada sobre el televisor con un solo sintonizador,con un interruptor digital o interruptor derivante de RF. Además de una caja que va colocada sobre el televisor, el sistema puede ser implementadoutilizando un receptor satelital, un televisor avanzado con un procesador y memoria, o una computadora. Las diversasrealizaciones suministran alusuario condiciones muy flexibles para grabar y mirar.An interactive television program guide system is provided in which a user can use the program guide to watch a program while simultaneously recording another program, without interrupting the recording or viewing process. This interactive television programming guide system also allows a user to use all or some of the features of the programming guide, while in the mode of watching and recording, depending on the implementation being implemented. In addition, this system of watching and recording can be implemented using a box that is placed on the TV with multiple tuners, or a box that is placed on the TV with a single tuner, with a digital switch or RF derivative switch. In addition to a box that is placed on the television, the system can be implemented using a satellite receiver, an advanced television with a processor and memory, or a computer. The various embodiments provide the user with very flexible conditions for recording and watching.
